Julie recently told us about the Booqpad iPad mini case that also holds a notebook and pen. Well, Levenger has a phone wallet that also incorporates paper and pen into the design. Although it has “briefcase” in the name, the International Phone Pocket Briefcase is a folio-style wallet. There’s a mesh pouch to hold an iPhone 5 or other smartphone (pocket size is 2.75″ wide X 5.5″ tall); the other side holds a stack of 3X5 notecards and serves as a writing platform for making notes. There’s even a small slot in the middle to hold the optional Pocketini pen ($29). The Briefcase is 4″ wide X 5.75″ tall overall and is made of black leather. It’s full of stash pockets to hold your passport, currency, boarding pass, and extra note cards. The International Phone Pocket Briefcase is $59; you can have it personalized with three initials for $6 more.

The Cargo Works MacBook 13" EDC Kit is a black canvas zippered gear bag that has been designed to hold the 13" MacBook or similarly sized notebooks and associated gear. Stay tuned for my full review which is coming soon.
